JSparksFan: This was a sloth of a song for three-quarters of the way through; thankfully, it picked up and ended memorably.

urbanmusik: One of the few songs from the indie landfill of the mid 2000s that has aged well. That's mostly due to lead singer Joel Pott being a great songwriter, having went on to write songs with the likes of London Grammar, George Ezra, Shura and Mabel in recent years. This song hits a nerve with me; tonally it's just so emotional. The "I see it in your eyes" refrain that arrives in the latter half feels so cathartic, adding to the build and release of tension within a song that addresses the theme in an atypical way (the wires keeping his pre-mature daughter alive).

cheapthrills: I am kind of digging that static noise at the 90 second mark. Wish there was more of that. This is giving me Coldplay vibes, and I like Coldplay. This song has a strong ending that builds on everything before it.

JSparksFan: Frank Sinatra seems physically incapable of recording a bad song; his music is either fantastic or adequate. This was adequate. Top-notch instrumentation, great vocals, but the lyrics fall flat.

urbanmusik: I can barely tell most Frank Sinatra songs apart, but I enjoyed it.

cheapthrills: Have we had a song as old as this one? I don't know - compared with the other songs, this comes off as a refreshing change. I found myself completely ignoring Frank though and listening to the outstanding musicianship going on in the background. I mean even the song drops Frank at the two minute mark for awhile.

leomedar: I like some of her stuff, but then I kind of lost interest. This is ok but does not stand out.

JSparksFan: Melodically, this was intriguing. I also enjoyed the vocal effects, with the crescendo variations. Good submission! I see myself playing this next week.

urbanmusik: I liked Jessie Ware's first single Strangest Feeling, but it was Running that really got me obsessed. It was a combination Jessie's cool diva vocals, the Sade inspired instrumentation, the Aaliyah invoking melody and a hint of electronic soul that got me hooked. This was something completely different in 2012, and I'd like to think that Jessie alongside a handful of other artists helped usher in what's popular today.

cheapthrills: I like this song a lot, but I am just so very confused by these lyrics. I have questions. Don't you like this guy, Jessie? If so, why would that make you want to keep running and not chill right there? And how can you claim that you get weak, but still want to keep running? Why do you say you want to stay there with your hot boyfriend in one lyric, but then make the chorus about nothing but running? Make up your damn mind!

urbanmusik: Video is far more interesting than the song, which isn't bad, just typical.

cheapthrills: This song has an odd cadence to it- the lyrics are sung in halted punctuation that runs counter to the flowing, dreamy background. That makes for an uncomfortable listen, as if she is trying to hurry the song along.

urbanmusik: Brassy and soulful. I like it, but there's something missing that stops me from loving it.

cheapthrills: O...M...G! Those horns and harmonies! And these lyrics are strange in the right way - obsessive, violent, and dark - this is definitely more about possession than love. Yet, it is somehow wrapped up in a musical banger. I think I just found a good addition to my Halloween playlist.

JSparksFan: This song wanted desperately to be better than it is. Creative liberties were clearly taken on the production of this song, and more backfired than panned out. The bass/drum bit at the end was nice, though.

urbanmusik: Beautiful arrangement. I'm trying to review this song without mentioning Björk or Fiona Apple tbh. So I'll just talk about the music video since it has me shook. I was not expecting that at all. Andrea Arnold meets The Twilight Zone, but a little more arthouse and uncomfortable. I'm not sure if the message was meant to be inspiring, but it left me a little sadder after watching.

cheapthrills: Sigh. I want to score this higher because it is so daring, but even I have my limits. The lyrics and the video make for a very disturbing experience. I feel like I need a shower after watching this and I just took one an hour ago.

JSparksFan: The refrain is so relatable that I really wanted to like this song, but it didn't give me any other reason to love it.

urbanmusik: I completely forgot about The Ting Tings aborted sophomore album. I appreciate this 80s pastiche a lot more than I did when it was released.

cheapthrills: Have heard this one before. I always liked the Ting Tings. And it's a nice way to close out this round which was mostly a group of dark, serious topics. I'll use Hands as a nice salve to wash that all off. (Get it? Hands? Because I'd be washing with my hands? Anyhow, moving on...) It's true, Ting Tings. I am working too hard! I am so ready to clap now.

........................

Top of the table is very close with just 1 point separating positions 1-4 but somehow/someway - Thriller manages to top the table for a 2nd consecutive round with two average scores and two great scores!

Unfortunately, having topped the table on 3 previous occasions, Carbon bids farewell with his worst score yet of just 23.5 points - the clear losing song! Thank you for taking part - you've been a fabulous contestant!

Phew! Barely scraped through.... ( At this point it would be nice if I made it to number 5! )Can't really believe that Carbon has to leave the competition so early on; and of all things with this song by Susanne Sundfør! If I were a judge...

We continue with our #UKMIX20 theme and we reach the year 2006. Reading through the year 2006, a fair amount happened but one particular entertainment story stuck out:

An infamous movie called Zyzzyx Road was released. Why is it infamous? Well, the movie cost $1.2 million to make but it grossed just $30 at the box office - it is unequivocally the biggest flop in film history (though there are reasons - Google will tell you more).

And your theme centers on that.

Your theme for R11 is FLOPS - select a song from an album that was a renowned commercial flop or from an album that famously underperformed.

ACTION: Collectors, you have 24 hours to PM me your ONE chosen song - this will be a single elimination round.

There is one particular flop album I'm thinking of that has some fantastic tracks. Hope a song from that one is selected.

Honestly, so many prominent UKMix divas have flopped in recent years that this should be an easy round for the song collectors, but I guess when you have to factor four different judges' tastes into the equation, it becomes dicey.
